Last night Hillary Clinton, surrounded by her husband's former White House chief of staff as well as a "staffer from her presidential campaign in 2008 and her previous Senate race," gave a speech at the Center for American Progress. She referenced her worldly travels as secretary of state and deplored unnamed domestic pols who "choose scorched earth over common ground," which, she noted, has deleterious effects on American voters families.
The night before she made "similar remarks" at the University of Buffalo, reports The Hill, and she'll make them again today at upstate New York's Colgate University.
In brief the former senator is doing everything short of casting "Hope With Hillary" buttons into eager, politically friendly audiences. So how does The Hill summarize the canvassing thrust of Mrs. Clinton's speech? She "made no allusion to a political run in her short, 10-minute remarks."
Such technical stipulations to the so obviously contrary are I suppose a necessary journalistic convention. There's always an outside chance that Hillary could opt instead for a five-year commentary slot at Fox News, or head into her twilight seeking spiritual wisdom from Tibetan holy men, or bake cookies.
In other words, when it comes to Hillary, the aforementioned journalistic necessity is also prodigiously silly.
